    Some time ago, co-worker friend of mine paid alot for a trashed war era jeep.
    They are very desired in original form.
    I still remember him showing me things like the headlights could be turned in to light up the engine bay.
    After seeing that, I could understand the value of the war jeeps.

    If you want to put an after-market body on a jeep, there may be more modern drive trains to start with?

    The replacement body you mentioned I think would be a waste. These jeeps are mostly straight sheet metal and what little is curved is only 2 dimensional. Who wants to throw away three grand on a body that could be better spent on your VX anyways?:bgwg:
    The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.
